When you look in your rubbish bin, what all do you see there? Is it all just trash that can’t be reused in any way, shape, or form? Of course it isn’t, because a lot of us throw things away that we could reuse, but don’t. If you have a garden, or just want to give your yard a boost, then why not turn some of that trash into treasure?

iLuv Mobicup splash-resistant wireless speaker– sound in the round
There are tons of different ways to listen to music. Being on the go most of the time, we need varying sound accessories to accommodate our musical needs. This means having something like a solar powered speaker for time by the pool, headphones, or plug-in speakers. If you don’t have good system in your car, you’re going to want something small and powerful that won’t get in the way.
Read MoreInflatable Unicorn Hat For Cats – give them a gift they’ll treasure for ever
If you’re a real pet lover, you’ll know that there are few things which delight them more than a thoughtfully chosen piece of apparel. Gifts such as hamster booties, parakeet scarves and suchlike are always received with a grateful snort and much scuttling, sniffing and other signs of pleasure.
Read MoreEarth Alerts – live map of our planet’s natural hazards makes for compulsive viewing (+Freeware]
You don’t have to live in an earthquake zone to appreciate the benefits of knowing if and when things are going to get a little hot and sticky at any time. And by things, we mean natural disasters. Just ask the European continent when the Icelandic – can’t pronounce or spell the name – volcano flipped out a few years back.
Read MoreBecome the terror of the pool with the RC Cyborg Shark
If you’ve ever seen Jaws, it’s hard to go around water without playing the theme music in your head. Of course, there’s no chance of an actual shark being in the water thanks to the copious amounts of chlorine, but there’s always that twinge of fear humming in the back of your mind. If you’re a prankster who likes to cause a little mayhem, then there’s a pool toy you’re going to want this summer.
Read MoreThe ARKON Windshield Smartphone Mount – work smarter, not harder
Having a smartphone means you can do a myriad of awesome things. It can look up restaurants, connect you to social media, and navigate from point A to point B. This makes it seem a bit silly to get a completely different gizmo to use for navigation if you already have a perfectly capable device.
Read MoreThe Solid Gray Backpack is futuristic and functional
Want to know why backpacks are so awesome? They’re convenient, available just about anywhere, and there is a huge variety out there from functional to aesthetically based. Some have tons of pockets and extra features like a solar panel to charge devices, but most are made of a material that will keep your things contained, but not necessarily safe from water or drop damage. For this day and age, we’ve got a lot of gizmos and gadgets that don’t play…
Read MoreRevell Cager – impact proof flying fun for all the family [Review]
If you’ve ever tried to fly one of those very popular indoor radio controlled helicopters, you’ll know that they’re far from easy. The first thing that happens is you knock a vase off the table, the second is it hits a wall too hard and fun’s over for the day. Or month.
Read MoreFight Me – YouTube meets X-Factor meets a paltry 30 sec time limit
Do you fancy yourself as a bit of a personality or performer? Or perhaps you feel you need somewhere to flaunt your unquestionable talent for being you (because your dad told you, right?). Well search no further fledgling, for we bring you news.
Read MoreOmni – Is virtual reality finally going to be real?
Many have tried to create true virtual reality before, but no one has quite gotten it ‘right’ yet. It’s always far too clunky or expensive to validate as a purchase. We saw the Occulus Rift a while back, and while it seems promising, that only takes care of the visual aspect.
Read MoreFather’s Day Bacon – How else can you let him know you care?
Bacon is a delicious creation given to us from pigs. While it is just a tasty food, we hold it in rather high regard, and some more than others. There seems to be bacon everything now, from perfumes to pens, there’s a little something for everyone. Seeing that Father’s Day is coming up, what better gift to get him than pork?
Read MoreJabra Bluetooth In-Car Speakerphone – drive smart!
It’s not a grand idea to be fiddling with your phone while driving. There are laws against it, we know that there are thousands of wrecks caused by it every year, but we still pick up when mum calls. If you want to keep both hands on the steering wheel, but can’t resist when your mobile rings, then you need something to minimize your distractions.

Read MoreMacbook Air Mirror – one day all computers will be this size…oh wait…
There’s an ancient Mayan proverb that says ‘he who makes false idols, lives always in the shadow of a tall elephant.’ Or something like that. Anyway, this Macbook Air Mirror is a prime example of a false elephant, which is not only lovingly detailed, but also comes with a signed autobiography of the guy who sold his Apple shares 2 weeks after he got them. Nah, we’re kidding.
Read MoreCannon Radio Vault – behold…one crazy biometric fingerprint scanning smartphone dock…at last!
The one thing you can safely say about security is it’s definitely a growth industry. Everybody wants to protect something from someone else, whether it’s the government with their anti immigrant barriers, industry with encrypted flash drives or Aunt Mabel with her Yale deadbolt. But one thing we’ve never heard of before is a music dock which doubles up as a secret safe and alarm clock.
